Comfort was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Accra General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short.
my wife has been in and out of Accra General Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Comfort struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Comfort won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $550 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $465
Glad we found this place.
